I see a ton of posts on this and various fixes. I took off an old, and cracked FAB that had a metal plate on it with a huge gap between the filter and the housing, and built a new box and added support where the old one had cracked. Within 100 hours, it had completely eaten through the new bottom. My question is: Is there supposed to be ANY contact between the lower cowl and the air cleaner box via the baffle material? On BOTH assemblies, the thick plate that mounts to the performance airflow section of the throttle body has also cracked on the forward left bolt area. I obviously have something WAY wrong. I've only had the plane for a couple hundred hours. 815 hours on airframe. Whats the fix?
